Trooper Station, Friday

A watermelon plant had replaced the water cooler, today.

When Liam questioned it, all he got was a shrug from Ralph and an explanation that he couldn’t make it work in his apartment.

“Where do you even live, anyway?” Liam asked. “Any of you? I don’t see your information in the directory.”

Ralph and Calvin just shrugged, and Hugo sidled out of the room, muttering something about going to catalog evidence.

[ooc I have very little work to do today. so open!]

Around lunch, there was a daughter poking her head around the door into his office.

"Got time for company, Dad?????????????"

Nina giggled as she slipped through the door to take a seat.

"I mean, like, I know you want me to feel free to........," Nina hesitated, "visit," impose, she meant impose, "but if you really were ever busy with a case, like, that's more important?????????"

Hey, at least they had more work than the fire station guy?

"Yes, Dad," she said primly. It was hard to say if she actually believed him or not--she wanted to but, like... well.

Baby steps.

"You should, like, do a teambuilding retreat with the guys!!!!!!!!!" she suggested. "Or, like, monthly training sessions????????"

Steve came in and stared at the watermelon plant. "It is worth asking?" he asked Liam, pointing to it.

Nina looked up from the book she was reading.

"Hi, Dad's coworker!!!!!!!!!!" she chirped.

She was totally just hanging around because she could just hang around.

She beamed at having helped.

Sorry, Liam, but some part of her would always desperately love being useful.

"I think it would be good for all of you," she said, nodding. "And, like, it would give you all something to look forward to," or hate, "and to plan!!!!!!!!"

Of course she remembered but getting a gift to make herself be useful and being useful out of the blue were two separate things entirely!

"All the better to shake it up!!!!!!!!!" she said brightly. "Or, like, ooooh, you guys could patrol the island in pairs???????? Only alternate the pairs on, like, a monthly basis or something so no one gets too used to only working with one partner????????"

Of course. He was dad.

He didn't need to be anything else.

"But, like, better to have an idea of how they work together before that happens, right????????" she wondered.

"I'd be the best intern," she mused. "But I don't know that Dad would hire me.........."
bookbeltof_love: (that's great!!!!)

[personal profile] bookbeltof_love 2021-02-05 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sure did!!!!!!!!" she said happily. "Are you coming to see it????????? She's throwing a party tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!"

"Nepotism in the police station is probably not great," Steve said, smiling.
